Price of pint could hit ￡7 and 'become the norm', warns Scots brewer

The owner of a Scots brewery has warned the price of a pint could hit ￡7 on average in some cities because of inflation.

It comes after the Chancellor scrapped the alcohol duty freeze which could see prices skyrocket during a period where people may be less likely to spend.

Alan Mahon, founder and CEO of Glasgow-based brewer Brewgooder, warned the drinks industry could be in for a "perfect storm" of challenges.
